The next day, early morning.
Tang Xiao personally brought Tang San and the others to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and went directly to the three great deans. The three great deans frowned upon learning of the four's Spirits and talents.
Meng Shenji looked at Dai Mubai: "You are from the Star Luo Royal Family?"
A prince of the Star Luo Empire coming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study? This kid must be tired of living, right? Does he really think they wouldn't dare touch him, a prince?
"Meng Shenji—"
As soon as Tang Xiao spoke, Meng Shenji interrupted without giving him any face: "Sky Roar Douluo, are you asking us to train an enemy for our Heaven Dou Empire?"
Dai Mubai hastily said: "From the moment I left Star Luo City, I have had no connection with the Star Luo Empire." "Hahaha—"
Bai Baoshan laughed heartily: "Kid, you're still too green to play tricks in front of us. Do you think we don't know the rules for the crown prince succession in the Star Luo Empire?"
"If you can surpass other princes in the future, would you abandon your claim to the throne?"
"You want to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Fine, marry into our Heaven Dou Royal Family. If you dare to agree, we dare to accept you. Want to give it a try?"
Dai Mubai instantly clenched his fists.
If he really dared to agree to marry into the Heaven Dou Royal Family, it wouldn't just be a matter of the crown prince succession. His unfeeling father, the Emperor, would surely send people to eliminate him.
The prestige of the Star Luo Royal Family is absolutely not to be challenged, and their bloodline must never be spread outside.
Even if Heaven Dou Empire didn't release him, it's not impossible for them to directly start a war. Therefore, Heaven Dou Empire would absolutely not protect him at that time, and only a dead end awaited him.
Meng Shenji looked at Tang Xiao.
"Sky Roar Douluo, don't say we're not giving you face. The other three are fine, but we won't accept Dai Mubai. Even if we agree, His Majesty wouldn't agree."
Tang Xiao, upon hearing this, merely smiled faintly: "I will personally negotiate with His Majesty. You don't need to worry about this."
"???"
The three great deans were full of questions, thinking, "Do you even hear what you're saying? Can you really make His Majesty agree to train his own enemy?"
"Alright."
Meng Shenji thought for a moment and said: "We will temporarily accept that person. If you can't sort things out with His Majesty, don't blame us for not giving you face then."
His idea was simple.
Since the other party was so confident, let them try. It wouldn't be too late to expel Dai Mubai if it didn't work out. If the other party truly had the ability to persuade His Majesty, then why not accept him?
Dai Mubai's heart filled with joy upon hearing this.
Tang San felt the same. He thought, a Title Douluo is indeed different from a Spirit Saint. When Uncle brought them, they couldn't even enter the door, but once Great Uncle arrived, no problem was a problem.
Tang Xiao nodded: "Don't worry, if I can't sort things out with His Majesty, I will absolutely not make things difficult for you."
Meng Shenji nodded in satisfaction.
Tang Xiao then said: "You've seen the talents of these four. They are rare geniuses even across the entire continent. I wonder if they can join the first team?"
"Join the first team?"
Meng Shenji was first stunned, then shook his head: "Although their talents are good, it's not enough to join the first team. It's not just a matter of spirit power level."
"The first team doesn't lack support Spirit Masters, and Oscar has no advantage in spirit power level."
"As for attack system, there's even less to say. I'm sure Sky Roar Douluo knows the situation with Li Qing and Dugu Yan without me needing to explain. Dai Mubai and the others are not just a little bit behind."
"As for control system—"
At this point, Meng Shenji glanced at Tang San: "The first team does lack a control system Spirit Master, but his spirit power level is too low, so low that he simply can't keep up with the pace of Li Qing and the others."
The four of Tang San were speechless at this moment.
Both Tang San and Dai Mubai considered themselves rare geniuses on the continent, but at this moment they were belittled to worthlessness, which severely damaged their self-confidence.
Tang San asked, somewhat unconvinced: "Is everyone in the first team as strong as Li Qing?"
He was clear about Li Qing's strength. Without using Hidden Weapons, he admitted he was not his opponent, but he didn't believe that everyone in the first team was such a genius.
Bai Baoshan said: "The lowest spirit power level in the first team has now reached twenty-eight."
"Although with your talents there's still a chance to catch up with the stragglers before the Spirit Master Tournament, a battle team can't just look at spirit power level; it also needs to consider the team composition."
"There's no benefit for you to join the first team. It would be better to strengthen the second team."
Tang San:
"....."
As a person who had lived two lives, he had never been so speechless. For a moment, he even had an impulse to use Hidden Weapons and Tang Sect's Secret Skills to prove himself.
However, as soon as he remembered that competitions couldn't rely on external forces, this thought instantly vanished.
"Then let's go to the second team."
Tang Xiao said with some helplessness. After all, the gap was there. Even though he was a Title Douluo, he couldn't force Meng Shenji and the others to agree to the few joining the first team.
Since he had no way, Tang San and the others naturally had no choice either.
After registering, Meng Shenji called the second team's leading teacher and had them take Tang San to the second team, while Tang Xiao left Heaven Dou Royal Academy and headed towards the imperial palace.
Tang Xiao arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and, after being announced, met Emperor Xue Ye.
Emperor Xue Ye was naturally very enthusiastic towards Tang Xiao, the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect. Before he entered, he had already ordered tea and snacks to be prepared, and then invited him to sit.
"Your Majesty, Tang Xiao has come this time because there are some matters I wish to discuss with Your Majesty."
Emperor Xue Ye naturally knew that he wouldn't come without a reason, as the Clear Sky Sect had been out for so long without visiting, but he didn't expect him to be so direct.
"Speak freely."
Tang Xiao stated directly: "A disciple of my Clear Sky Sect has joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but one of his teammates has a problematic identity, so—"
"Oh? What identity?"
Emperor Xue Ye instantly understood the unspoken meaning but couldn't immediately think of what identity it could be.
Tang Xiao said: "A Star Luo Prince."
"???"
Emperor Xue Ye said in disbelief: "Sect Master Tang, are you joking with me?"
Tang Xiao said indifferently: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this person is extremely lustful. If Your Majesty can arrange some beautiful young women to tempt him!—"
Emperor Xue Ye's eyes lit up, instantly understanding Tang Xiao's unspoken meaning.
Although the reputation of the continent's number one Beast Spirit was taken by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Star Luo Royal Family's White Tiger was not bad, even on par with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
If its legacy could be passed on, on a small scale, it could increase the Heaven Dou Empire's foundation.
On a larger scale, perhaps in the future, they could secretly plot for the Star Luo Empire's crown prince succession, taking down the entire Star Luo Empire without shedding blood.
As for provoking a war because of this, the bloodline was left willingly by him, what does it have to do with their Heaven Dou Empire? One can only blame that fellow for not being able to control his lower body.
